A traveler wanted to know if the prices of hotels are different in the ten cities that he visits the most often. The list of the cities with the corresponding hotel prices for his two favorite hotel chains is in Table 10.33. Test at the1% level of significance.

Short Answer

Expert verified

At the 1%the mean of ten cities' differences level of significance, there is insufficient evidence from the sample data, from the data sample, to establish that the prices at Hyatt Regency and Hilton hotels are different.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information  

The given data is

We have to test at1%significance level.

02

Explanation  

a. the null hypothesis is

μd=0

b. The alternative hypothesis is,

μd≠0

c. The mean of ten cities' differences

d. The t distribution of a student.

e. Fill in all requirements using Minitab's two sample t-test option.

The result shown below

Test statistic is-0.42

f. The P value is0.685

g. graph is plotted for P value.

i.α=0.01

ii. Acceptance of the null hypothesis

Pvalue>αis the reason for the decision.

Conclusion: At the 1%the mean of ten cities' differences level of significance, there is insufficient evidence from the sample data, from the data sample, to establish that the prices at Hyatt Regency and Hilton hotels are different.

Use the following information to answer next five exercises. A study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a juggling class. Before the class started, six subjects juggled as many balls as they could at once. After the class, the same six subjects juggled as many balls as they could. The differences in the number of balls are calculated. The differences have a normal distribution. Test at the \(1 \%\) significance level.

State the null and alternative hypotheses.

Use the following information to answer the next 15 exercises: Indicate if the hypothesis test is for

a. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances known

b. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances unknown

c. matched or paired samples

d. single mean

e. two proportions

f. single proportion

At the 1% significance level, what is your conclusion?

The known standard deviation in salary for all mid-level professionals in the financial industry is \(11,000. Company A and Company B are in the financial industry. Suppose samples are taken of mid-level professionals from Company A and from Company B. The sample mean salary for mid-level professionals in Company A is \)80,000. The sample mean salary for mid-level professionals in Company B is $96,000. Company A and Company B management want to know if their midlevel professionals are paid differently, on average.

Indicate if the hypothesis test is for :-

a. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances known

b. independent group means, population standard deviations, and/or variances unknown

c. matched or paired samples

d. single mean

e. two proportions

Two types of phone operating system are being tested to determine

if there is a difference in the proportions of system failures (crashes). Fifteen out of a random sample of 150 phones with OS1had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. Nine out of another random sample of 150 phones with OS2had system failures within the first eight hours of operation. OS2is believed to be more stable (have fewer crashes) than OS1.

What can you conclude about the two operating systems?
